Ok, so it’s not a huge deal in itself but it really irritates me.
2 examples from the Facebook group for our local area just today but countless other examples.
Our local police force posted about a teenager who seems to have gone missing. Someone commented ‘try looking at her Facebook, Instagram etc ‘ . If the police hadn’t already thought of doing that then the country is in a worse place than I thought.
Someone posted that they’ve lost their keys between shop A and shop B. It was suggested that they contact shop A, B and those inbetween to see if they had been handed in.
These are only a couple of examples, so many similar.
I know people are just trying to be helpful but for some reason these ‘stating the bleeding obvious’ posts really irritate me. Maybe I am being unreasonable but feel better for getting it off my chest (and another one ‘contact her mates and see if any of them have heard from her’. I mean really - and these are suggestions to the police!
